Dinar (Georgian: დინარ დედოფალი, romanized: dinar dedopali) was a Georgian princess of the Bagrationi dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti and Queen regnant of Hereti. She is venerated as a saint. The Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates her on June 30.
Life
[edit]Dinar was a daughter of hereditary ruler of Tao-Klarjeti, the eristavt-eristavi, "duke of dukes" Adarnase III of Tao by his unknown wife.
According to The Georgian Chronicles, Queen Dinar, during the reign of her son Ishkhanik, converted Hereti to the Georgian Orthodox Church.[1]
King Ishkhanik and Queen Dinar participated in the ceremony organized on the occasion of the election of the new Catholicos of Albania in 962.[2]
After 1000 AD Queen Dinar of Hereti had no option but to join a united Georgia under King Bagrat.[3] When the campaign of Bagrat III to the Kingdom of Hereti, the main representative of the Hereti ruling circles was Queen Dinar. Bagrat III captured her and she must have been over 90 years old.[4]
In Russia
[edit]Queen Dinar’s story is recounted in the Russian Chronicles more closely and The Tale of Tsaritsa Dinara may be about her.
Today, on the north wall of the Throne Hall in the Moscow Kremlin, there's a fresco of Queen Dinar who's mounted on a white horse, victorious over the enemy.
